Overwatch Favourite Maps 5/?

So, as well as talking about who is going to join the Recalled Overwatch and possible new characters(eventually), I also want to talk about maps we know about and new maps I want. So, this is about Rome. 

The thing about Rome is that we should have had it on our radar for possible maps and from what I saw before Blizzconline it wasn’t on anyone’s radar. I’m saying this because it has been mentioned before. While reading What you left behind by Alyssa Wong for my post about Baptiste, one line really caught my eye. 

“What are you doing here?” Baptiste said quietly... “Well, as you can see, I’m enjoying the sun and fresh ocean breeze,” said Mauga. “It reminds me of home. Talon HQ is so dreary; it’s nice to get out of Rome every now and again.” (Wong, Page 6). 

This quote blatantly states that Talon has an HQ in ROME, the new map! It is important because it means that, this map, which we have only gotten glimpses of, may be the Talon HQ map!! We have gotten several maps that are Overwatch base maps, like Watchpoint: Gibraltar or Ecopoint: Antarctica, but no Talon base map. This also makes me really excited because it might mean that we may get more Talon characters since it is a Talon map. I think this might happen because of Kanezaka being added and the Kanezaka Fox girl hints, check out Master Ian Gamer’s YouTube video on this theory. 

Anyways, I’m really happy about Rome being added and that it will probably be a Talon HQ map. In the future, once I get through some of the post ideas I’ve already written down, I’ll make a couple posts about possible Talon characters. Also go check out Master Ian Gamer on YouTube, he covers everything Overwatch and is just a really great content creator especially if you like the lore of Overwatch. 

So, TLDR: Rome should have been on everyone’s radar for possible new maps since we know from Baptiste’s short story that Rome is Talon HQ and based off of things in Kanezaka, we might get new Talon characters in OW2.
